Action In Rhodesia
« on: 09 December 2022, 05:01:12 AM »


We played a game of Specter Ops pitting communist revolutionaries against a Rhodesian farmstead supported (eventually) by the Rhodesian Army. Fast playing rules and a scenario full of twists and turbans.  https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2022/12/return-to-rhodesia.html

Brilliant stuff, thank you for posting. I’ve only just got a copy of SO and my mind is now buzzing with the possibilities for settings.

Keep up the good work,

Great looking game and excellent report.
For anyone looking at gaming this period in 28mm I thoroughly recommend looking at the African Wars range available from Eureka. I bought some of the Rhodesian Light Infantry figures for another project and have to say that they are beautiful sculpts.

Those are lovely figures, especially like the RAR.
There is also a very nice range of 28mm Rhodesian figures at Under Fire miniatures, alongside their superb range of 20mm Bush Wars minis.

Beautiful game - 15mm figures with 1/87 scale buildings?
